Hi again! I continue, it was something I forgot to mention in last mail.
If the oVirt storage system could bring in two LUN's from different DC's, and use LVM to join them as one mirrored unit, it would be exactly what I wanted. That would solve a lot of issues. But than of coarse the NPIV issue still remains...

You can also use Gluster for the same purpose. Setting RAID1 between two geographically separate hosts is asking for trouble. ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Johan Kragsterman" <[email protected]> > To: [email protected] > Sent: Sunday, 29 July, 2012 12:08:20 PM > Subject: [Users] host raiding two LUN from different external storage > > Hi! > > In some setups, like when you got two datacenters that works like > failover sites, you would like to have two external raid > controllers(storage devices), one in each datacenter. > > You then send two identical LUN's, from each controller, to a > cluster, let's say two hosts, for simplicity.
